So? Not like democrats didn’t use fraud to obtain their current positions. They should be focusing on the purge literally happening daily in the streets, not a patriot who made a few mistakes

Oh fuck you and your enabling bullshit. The reason you call him a patriot is because you're equally full of shit.

Lots of hostility here but no arguments to even bother making your point. He’s a child of immigrants who came to America for a better life and struggled, raising someone of high moral values who came from nothing and rose through the ranks to serve the community.

However, I’m not petty and won’t insult you for not liking him, its your right to have your opinion. Have a nice day.

Trying too hard to troll. Tone it down a bit and it’ll work out. None of this matters

I know this is trolling but it is also probably verbatim the logic someone like my dad would have.

There are some weird blind spots for people when politics comes up and they look at someone who is obviously a bad person who constantly takes advantage of others and sees instead someone who just needs someone to believe in them so that they can transform into a good person. They believe that this person wants to be a good person but, like them, makes mistakes. (Trump)

It is sad because it is the flip-side of someone everyone understands is a good person and who always tries to do the right thing. When this person makes a bad decision, this same type of thinking sees them as fundamentally a bad person who was pretending to be good until they revealed their true nature: bad. (Hillary)

A really good example of this is the (kind of terrible) tv show Under the Dome where one character is obviously selfish and cruel, constantly killing people for stupid reasons and yet the other characters constantly give this man another chance, a chance to be good, that he again fails, harming them in horrible new ways. There is another character who everyone trusted at one point but then he did something that made it seem like he was actually selfish, for the rest of the show the characters wanted nothing to do with him, some how he had proven his character while the selfish one had not.

It seems to be the nature of abusive relationships.

He has no morals and lies about practically everything. How you can think that's moral is beyond me.

Hahaha there is literally not a single sterling thing in this guys record. He’s a con man, serial liar and fraud with a line of victims. Multiple evictions, stealing from veterans for crying out loud, people like you are just so vile and disgusting.

Can you actually bring some counter points to the table or are you just babbling with nothing to contribute to this discussion?

Edit: I genuinely want to hear what is so bad about George Santos, I wish I could have voted for him in my district.

> I genuinely want to hear what is so bad about George Santos

Said he was Jewish and that his grandparents fled the Holocaust, when questioned he said he was "Jew-ish"

He claimed his mother died as a result of 9/11 when there are documents indicating she was in Brazil that day

He worked financial firm called Harbor City, which the Securities and Exchange Commission accused of running a Ponzi scheme and was later shut down.

Lied about his employment at Goldman & CitiGroup

He claimed he lost 4 employees in the Pulse nightclub shooting (he didn't)

A staffer working for Santos’s election bid would call rich donors and pretend to be Representative Kevin McCarthy

In 2008, Santos was charged with fraud by Brazilian prosecutors for stealing the checkbook of a man his mother was working for and then spending nearly $700 using a stolen checkbook and a fake name. He admitted to this in 2009 and then again in 2010.

He raised $3k for a homeless vet's dying dog and stole the money.

Sadly, this is only part of the list

You'd vote for this person?

You know, when you see all this listed out like this, you really have to (not really) admire his chutzpah. You need giant balls (and zero shame) to pull off those lies.

You offer nothing to the conversation. You’re saying that it’s cool for Santos to do it because everyone does it. Why even prosecute any crimes whatsoever because everyone is doing it? If you commit a crime and get caught, you get punished. Seems pretty fucking simple to me.

LazyLamont92 t1_jdkp09c wrote

They’re calling you a troll because instead of addressing the topic at hand, you straight up went, ‘but what about the Democrats?’

It makes it seem like you’re saying Santos committing fraud is fine if the others do it as well.

So…Santos should get a pass because other politicians are corrupt? What’s your point?
